No, not you. This little gang
And a big Hello Donkey!
At last I pinned him down or hung him up actually. In Carla Sonheim’s Rags to Stitches class we were supposed to make a pony but I made a donkey.
On hearing the name of the town I live in people (generally from the UK) say “The donkeys!” or “Oh! you have donkeys!” or “Are the donkeys still there?” as if they roam the streets! Then there are the folks that have visited our town and have seen the donkeys (not roaming the streets) “Are the donkeys still on the beach?” Yes to all of them (and we love them) and now I have one hanging around from my chandelier(!)
I struggled with the donkey. Not because I couldn’t make him but unknown to me I was coming down with a sickness bug. Try as I might, one afternoon last week I was stitching away but had not heart for it. I had to give in and went to bed complaining that “even my donkey is miserable looking”
And then, stop reading if you are of a queasy disposition, all hell broke out of me! for two days!! anyway both me and the donkey are well and happy now.
I am ready to complete the class with the making of an elephant!
Hope you have a happy, and well week. Isn’t it glorious to have sunshine? and on a Bank Holiday here in the UK.
Hi Miriam – these guys are seriously cute, but I have a photog question – your WB looks spot on, just wondering where you take your photos and what lens you use … colour is fabulous!
I reread your previous post … the 50mm?
what a fun class and adorable animals. good to hear you are recovered
Too cute!!! Our glorious sunshine has lasted nearly two weeks, but wouldn’t you know just as the Lilac Festival begins, it’s about to rain and turn colder. Sigh.
Your donkey is everything I thought he would be and more.
Another one here who has very fond memories of a donkey ride on a beach many years ago now. And a ride on the miniature railway too.
I hope you are feeling a lot better
Love what you’re doing in this class. . . it’s definitely my kind of sewing.
